Hi all!

This is an MVP of something I’ve been working on for a while.

It started as a free form block text/layout editor like Notion but quickly realized I wanted something more visual, beautiful and personal by default.

I think I’m getting there but I also want to validate that this is something that other people want and learn from their needs.

Most tools for thoughts or bookmarking out there are made for work or focus on specific use cases while I wanted something a bit more personal and less prescriptive.

Hope that you find it useful and all feedback is welcome. Good or bad. I plan to make this be a source of income so this is super appreciated.

Not to be snarky, but how does this compare with Pinterest?

Not snarky at all.

Pinterest is primarily focused on images and is a social network with a set audience. While you can have a private experience there it’s not quite their intention.

Bleep is meant for personal/private use and it supports notes, images, links, and the ability to group them all in whatever hierarchy you see fit.

More block types and customization options are coming and ultimately the ability to decide how you want to share/collaborate on your content.

Love this. It’s surprisingly good on mobile. Do you have any plans of working on a native app soon?

Thank you!

I did spend some time ensuring core functionality is sound on mobile.

I have plans for a more integrated experience to allow users to share with Bleep using the native share functionality, but likely the rest of experience will remain web-based.
